The dark hedgehog sighed. He could hear the faint sobs coming from the sleeping form behind him. He pulled over to the side of the road as he pulled on his seat belt, turning around in his seat. He looked at the girl, seeing her curled up, hugging the coat as she cried softly on it. He sighed once more. He turned around, pulling back onto the road, speeding off. After a few seconds, a drop landed on the window, soon followed by a few more. Soon, they were driving in a huge rain storm. The windshield wipers were waving back and forth, trying their best to make the hedgehog to see, but they didn't really help.
The black Mustang pulled up in a long driveway, soon coming to a slow stop. The hedgehog turned off the car, as he unblocked himself from his seat. He staid there for a minute, but then opened his car door, his hand soaked in no time. He enter into the rain shower, as he slammed his car door shut. He opened the back door, bringing the girl into his wet arms. He brought her into the rain, slamming car door with his hip, then jogged over to a little cabin. He jogged up the stone path, onto his patio. With the girl in one arm, he reached into his pocket, taking out a few keys on a ring chain. He unlocked his wooden door, as he pushed it opened. The lights flashed on as he entered his living room. He gently laid the girl on his snow white couch, then turned to his fireplace. He went to get some wood when crystal blue eyes slowly opened. The girl sat up, closing her eyes from the blinding light, as she lightly rubbed her temple, groaning a little. Slowly, her eyes flickered open, as she looked around the unfamiliar room. The walls were a deep ash wood, with a few famous paintings. There was a few black chairs, and one white couch, that was what she was sitting upon, and a brick fireplace. 'where am I?' she thought, but then heard a crash noise. She turned a little, when she saw something black. Her eyes widen when she say the hedgehog bend up, a chunk of wood in his arm, and one in his hand. His amber eyes locked onto her blue eyes, as they both stared in awe. Finally, the hedgehog broke the silents.
"Did I wake you?" the girl shock her head, the water trapped in her hair and her hat flew a little water off her, making them fly a short distance. Her little brows frowned, wondering why she was wet. "It was raining outside.." the dark hedgehog said, putting a match into the fireplace. Soon, the wood burst into flames, and soon, the room started to fill with warmth. A shiver ran down the girls spine, as the male hedgehog turned to her. His hard, amber eyes soften when his eyes locked onto her's, seeing the fear in them. He slowly walked over to her, sitting down in the seat next to her, then asked, "Are you alright?" She paused for a minute, but soon sighed.
"I'm...well...my mind is a little...lost a-and-"
"I understand" soon, the become quiet once more. Nether one of them looked at each other. "...So...why were you-" he paused, looking at the girl, seeing her body shiver, as she sucked in air, having her face turned away from him. 'crap! I don't want her to cry again!' "What I mean is, are you cold, do you want me to get some spare cloths for you?.." The girl nodded, her body shivering again.
"M...M-May I also take a s-shower...?" she asked, her voice low but shy.
"you don't need to ask!" He said smiling. "Its the first door on the left in the hallway, help yourself! Let me just grab you something to wear!" he pushed himself up from the couch, as he walked down the hallway the he pointed to. The girl sat on the couch, her hands folded together, as she watch the fire burned in front of her. Her eyes slowly shut as she let out a little sigh, but soon opened them when she heard foot steeps come her way. She turned her head, seeing the male hedgehog walk into the living room, something tucked under his arm. The girl stood up quietly, finding the male standing in front of her. He pulled the item from under his arm as he held it out for her. She grabbed it gently from his hands as he had a shy smile on his face. He rubbed the back of his head, saying, "This is all that I have the wont be to big for.." he let out a small chuckle, then let out a sigh. The male hedgehog moved out of the, letting the girl walked past him. He turned around, seeing the girl already in the bathroom, just shutting the door. 'man she's fast' He smiled to himself, then walked to the kitchen.
The girl leaned on the door, her hand lightly over her heart, her eyes closed, letting out a sigh. Her blue eyes open once more as she looked around the bathroom. The sink was made out of marble, and it had two sinks in it. On the wall was huge mirror that reach from one side to the other. The shower was a walk in, with glass windows, that were hard to see through. She grabbed the bottom of her shirt as she started to tug it up, but then she stop when a bang come from behind her. She jumped, turning around as she looked at the door. Slowly, she opened the door, seeing the male hedgehog looking at her.
"Hey, um, when your done with your shower, do you want me to wash your stuff for you...?"he asked, turning his head away, rubbing hte back of his head."Yes.." she said, smiling, as she closed the door. She heard his footsteps dissapers as she sht her eyes. She took in a deep breath, then let it all out, then opened her eyes. She looked around, then spotted two towels. She grabbed them, then sat them down on the counter. She soon undress, as she turned on the hot water, along with a little cold water. She looked at herself in the mirror, staring at herself, then moved her eyes away, her head lowered. Then, she got in the shower.
